Arknights: Iron-Blooded Savior

......

Inside the cave, time passed minute by minute.

Because everyone's source stone communication machines and private terminals have been confiscated, they can no longer understand the changes in time through conventional means, but the extreme realm also has its own tricks.

"The shift patrol change of these bounty hunters is about half an hour, and about 10 shifts have passed since I last remembered, which is about five hours or so. Extreme

Realm silently calculated, this should be close to five o'clock in the afternoon, although recording the passage of time is a very boring behavior, but Extreme Realm will definitely not let go of a single detail at this time.

"Entering Rhode Island illegally and buying private plots of land using options is a great risk ... But what is the benefit here that is worth allowing these bounty hunters to risk here?"

the polar realm's brain was racing, and the feathers on the

side of his ears were shaking.

At the same time, the place was stuffy and hot, because five or six hours of water did not enter, and the members of the already weak Rhode Island exploration team had even less strength.

"Mr. Extreme Realm... A distress signal to this ship... Did it really send out? Did you really receive it?"

Lena next to the extreme realm became much lighter in tone at this time, and it could be seen that she was trying not to let the bounty hunter hear as much as possible, but she really had no strength and was saving her physical strength.

"It must have been received, and everyone can be saved... Soon...... Hold on a little longer. The

extreme tone was still actively comforting Lena, who was next to her, and also whispered to all the Rhode Island operators.

"Ayafara leads her... I really couldn't hold on and fainted just now..."

said Momu with some anxiety about the extreme realm, while Ayafara was leaning on her sister Jiao Yang's shoulder and passed out.

The most important thing is that the atmosphere here is too depressing, and dozens of refugees infected with Rembito around them are sobbing in despair and curling up in fear, but there is no way to get out of this magic cave.

"Please Rhode Island... I must receive it..." Extreme

Realm could only pray secretly in his heart at this time, and his shoulders were trembling slightly.

"Please relax, brother... We are here to solve the problem of infected people.

And at this moment, a bounty hunter stepped forward and said to the extreme realm in a serious manner - but this sentence seemed so absurd with his obviously pretentious tone and the bounty hunter's attire.

"Solve the infected person's problem? Solve

the infected person's problem?" Extreme Realm's hands were also cuffed behind his back, but he also said to the man in a sarcastic tone - he had just seen a bounty hunter in the distance punching and kicking a mother and daughter who were asking for food.

"I advise you to be honest, white hair and dull feathers, this can still suffer less.

The bounty hunter had little patience to hear the sarcasm of the extreme realm, shook the saber with a cold glow in his hand, and said in a threatening tone:

"Our car's transmitter is also broken, that's why I keep you."

"When we finish our work here, you fix the transmitter for us, and we will take you away, send you to a safe settlement or city, and give you a few source stone ingots." Ji

Jing obviously knew that this was a fool-like fallacy, but he understood that at this time, even if he wanted to execute this group of people on the spot again, he could only choose the flexion that the eldest husband could flex and stretch at this time.

......

After a few more words with the Extreme Realm, the bounty hunter lost interest, walked quickly to a companion who was a little farther away, and asked

: "When will the feeding begin?"

The bounty hunter companion said:

"The

first feeding starts around eight o'clock this evening.

And the inquiring bounty hunter nodded and turned to leave.

"Feeding...?"

and the extreme state of the environment, which was constantly observing the environment, obviously did not miss any detail that could be paid attention to, he heard the word—and he and the others were unsurprisingly fodder for something.

“...... Please, Rhode Island, if you don't see you at eight o'clock in the evening, otherwise you will also disperse. But

Extreme Realm had also done his best at this time, and he could only continue to maintain an optimistic attitude as much as possible and continue to pray secretly.

and as the camera switches, time accelerates again.

Standard Time [7:43:24pm]

Tonight, there are no stars and no moon, and the clouds swallow the sky.

Rankopel had used the fastest speed to navigate according to the coordinates, but it was still three or four hours later than the expected arrival time, because some of the terrain on the road had changed twice and needed to be detoured.

The most dangerous time was to open on a wasteland that was already full of cracks, and as a result, a violent vibration came, and many cracks quickly combined, and the earth began to tear to form a rift.

Fortunately, the two reacted quickly and Lan Koper used his source stone skills to lift the tail of the car upwards, otherwise he would almost be planted directly into the rift valley.

Now, the car of the two has gradually begun to slow down and arrived near the coordinate point.

"Is Wes...??

?" asked Rankopel in the car with some joking because he hadn't communicated with Weiss for quite a while, and was now close to reaching his target.

"Waking up... Leader, although the intelligent assisted driving of this car is about to achieve the level of unmanned driving, but you are right, this is a mission, how dare I relax.

Weiss in the other car even had a slightly excited tone:

"I've been a little embarrassed to stay on Rhode Island lately, and I've been on a mission with the leader, so I have to do my best to perform." Rankopel

nodded secretly and said

, "Okay, we have arrived,

now ready to moor."

Weiss replied

, "Received, leader,

now begin the last slowdown." "

Squeak

The braking power of the Deep Advance IV is also extraordinary, not only slowing down quickly and smoothly, but also very quiet, which is a stark contrast to this large and heavy steel monster.

Snap.

Rankopel and Weiss then opened the door and got out of the car at the same time, but neither completely extinguished the car's engine, and the source stone ballista on the roof was also on guard.

“...... The coordinates of the last disappearance of the distress signal sent to the Rhode Island ship were in this cave. As

soon as Rankopel got out of the car, he looked at the private terminal that Rhode Island had issued to him on his wrist and said to Weiss:

"We have to hurry in, we have arrived much later than expected." "

The inside of the cave in front of me is very dim, at least there is no lighting at the entrance, and the heat source induction unique to the blood demon in the dark has not found any living creatures here for the time being.

Rankopel took a deep breath and prepared to step in.

"Wait a minute, Leader, some marks are buried here.

At this moment, Weiss seemed to see something, quickly stepped forward and stopped Rankopel, and then the whole person lay on the ground, and began to gently rub the ground regularly with his palm.

Rustle....

After more than a minute of this action, some shoe prints covered in sand suddenly appeared in the place where Weiss was rubbing and cleaning, and the patterns and details were clearly visible.

"Shoe prints? is it from the Rhode Island Exploration Team?"

Even Rankopel didn't notice the hidden details this time, and he bent down to look at the shoe prints and ask Weiss.

"No... I don't think it's likely to be the shoe print of the Rhode Island Explorers.

Weiss shook his head solemnly and replied.

"Isn't it..., Weiss, do you recognize this shoe print?"

asked Rankopel again.

"Of course, leader, this grip mark is obviously a wasteland tactical boot, and the front end of the footprint is obviously sunk deeper, indicating that the front end of the boot is equipped with iron sheets.

Weiss is clearly experienced in this area, and he continues:

"And leader, you see, there are still marks on the sole, indicating dark nails

.

"The tactical boots of ordinary expeditions do not need to be to this extent, this is the direction of complete lethality, and generally people who have not been trained in combat wear them for a long time, but it is easy to clumsy." Rankopel

immediately answered,

"So... Is it a bounty hunter, a mercenary or a rogue?" replied

without thinking:

"Eight, nine, ten, leader." "

You said that Rhode Island has purchased options for all the land in this area near the volcano, and a visit by a bounty hunter or the like at this time is an illegal invasion, and it is definitely not a good thing." "

I suspect that the missing Rhode Island squad is most likely inseparable from the owners of these footprints, and the worst result is that they have been..." Wess

stopped abruptly, but both knew what the omitted part was referring to.

“...... I'll fix it. Rankopel

finally just stood up, looked at the dark hole in front of him, and said:

"The last place where the Rhode Island team's distress signal disappeared was in that cave, and I could smell a trace of blood wafting out of the depths of the cave."

"I won't give up any hope until I see the bodies of those operators."

Ves also took out the crossbow on his back, wound it, and said to Rankopel in a decisive tone:

"You are right, do not give up any hope, in the original Usas infected mine, we also thought so, prayed so, and finally met you."

"I'll go with you, leader, I haven't really fought in a long time, but my skills are still there, and three or five ordinary bounty hunters are not enough for me to cut." Rankopel

closed his eyes, seemed to consider for a moment, and finally said:

"... No need, there is only one entrance here, I can go, Weis, you are responsible for guarding this exit, I will keep in touch with you at all times, and remember not to turn off the car. Rankopel

stretched his body, every joint crackled like fried beans, and then turned sideways to give Weiss a back and prepare to go.

"No problem, leader, always waiting for your orders.

Weiss immediately replied in a solemn tone:

"I still have some tactical traps here, if there are really scales that slip through the net, keep enough for them to drink a pot."

And Rankopel just silently walked into the cave, the figure of the blood demon gradually melted into the darkness, and finally a voice came:

"Hmm... Please, Vese. "
